【每日random好詞 】Paddling, Tilt, Jet ski, Capsize, 輕描淡寫落水經(jīng)歷 | Day 5

在泰國和越南旅行,好山好水我很快愛上了kayak-ing. 今天幾個詞是在講劃船時的經(jīng)歷。我的第一次劃kayak以在泰國沙美島海岸線外幾百米處capsize告終……

kayak, paddle, tilt, capsize?

Kayak (指圖中小船)

A?kayak?is a narrow one- or two-person boat that is propelled with a double-ended paddle. You can use a?kayak?in the ocean, on a pond or lake, or in a river.

When you get in a kayak and start paddling around, you?kayak(the verb). People who visit the beach often rent sea kayaks and kayak around the shore and between small islands. An even more adventurous way to kayak is in a whitewater kayak on a fast-moving river. Kayaks were first built and used by Inuits, Aleuts, and Yup'iks, and the word comes from the Inuit?qayaq, "small boat of skins."


Paddle ?船槳n./劃船v.

If you regularly ride around in a canoe, you’re undoubtedly already familiar with a?paddle, a pole with a broad, flat end that is used to propel a boat forward.

Nautical types will already know that the noun form of the word?paddle?refers to an implement with a flat blade used to move a boat through the water. The word can also be used to describe items with a similar look, such as a paddle used in table tennis or certain kinds of video games. The verb form of?paddle?refers to the action of navigating through the water, either in a boat using a paddle or as a swimmer who used the hands and feet to move around in shallow water.

Paddle Board 則是另外站在板上劃的一種潮流的水上運動(去玩的朋友沒有一個不狼狽落水的)

Tilt(帶引申義) ? - ?a tilt boat/kayak (看圖也知道基本意思了吧)

Tilt?is both a noun and a verb. It has many shades of meaning, but most involve a slope or slant. When you're dizzy from eating too much, you might?tilt?when you walk away from the table.

The verb?tilt?can also indicate a slight preference for one thing over another. When Mavis and Marvin argue, you tend to tilt toward Marvin’s point of view, meaning you think he's probably right — you lean in that direction. As a noun?tilt?can mean a steep slant. When you climb Everest, you’ll find that the face of the mountain is at a dangerous tilt — it's very steep.

... 一輛摩托艇 (Jet ski) 瘋狂開過,激起排浪撲來,不久我就 capsize了 (boat totally turned over) ?


好在最後會游泳的朋友前來相救,完

依然還要繼續(xù)kayak下去
